As we are practicing the use of tag questions I think you can confirm some information about table manners in USA taking a quiz.

Look at the following uncomplete tag questions. First complete them and then take the quiz to find the answers to the questions. Post a comment with the complete questions and the answers to them.

Quiz on table manners

Worldwide Etiquette

Hi everybody,

Here is our first post for this blog that I hope will help you practice the topics we study in class. This time around I found a very interesting site that will help you learn a little more about etiquette in different countries around the world in terms of tipping, dinning, gestures and things you should and should not do when visiting these countries.

I want you to visit the site and pick a couple of countries, read the information given and post a comment about a manner or custom you learned about and didn't know before.

Here is the link to site: Worldwide Etiquette

Good luck!
